Trump towers over Clinton, wins 2016 presidential election KYLIE MADRY Contributing Writer kmadry@smu.edu On Nov. 8 expectations were shattered, but not a glass ceiling.

Donald Trump’s meteoric rise to success crashed through political America’s predictions Tuesday night as a stunning culmination of a campaign that bucked expectations and conventions every step of the way.

While Hillary Clinton was favored to handily take the election, Democrats grew anxious as the night carried on. Clinton began the night with over an 80 percent chance of winning, according to projections from the New York Times. But things quickly turned sour for her as Trump’s chances closed in just before 8:30 p.m. ET, quickly taking the lead as they grew to greater than 95 percent.

When Donald Trump, a 70-year-old celebrity businessman, announced his run for presidency last summer, many laughed at the thought of a non-politican running for office. However, his early rise in the primaries over more traditional candidates paved the way for his run against Hillary Clinton, who was largely considered the most experienced and qualified candidate for the job.

Throughout the election cycle, Trump repeatedly broke conventions that could have easily derailed any other candidate’s election.

He repeatedly lied, whether covertly or blatantly. He insulted so many that it took two pages of the New York

Times to list them all, including Republican party leaders.

And yet Tuesday night he easily garnered the 270 electoral college votes necessary to take the presidency, taking key swing states like Ohio and Florida, and even nabbing four states swung toward Obama in 2012. At current standings, Clinton leads the popular vote.

Clinton’s expected win relied on her so-called “blue wall” in the Rust Belt: states like Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania. But Trump breached that wall after heavily campaigning in the area in the weeks before the election, nabbing the votes of Wisconsin and Michigan, which Clinton had been counting on. She had been so sure, Clinton hadn’t visited Wisconsin since the general election kicked off.

Reporters got “radio silence” from Clinton’ camp as the evening progressed and the campaign’s future grew dim, with campaign chairman John Podesta telling supporters that Clinton would not concede the election until Wednesday morning.

Students watching coverage on and around campus were stunned by the upset.

“I just need a drink because it’s over,” said junior Elizabeth Orschlean from Barley House.

“I guess it just shows people’s frustration,” said Kenneth Day, an attendee of the Dallas Democrats watch party. “They want to see something different; change.

The last few elections you hear a lot of candidates talk about change, change, change and maybe people see [Trump] as a change.”

to tap into an electorate that America hadn’t seen previously: voters who felt anxious, disillusioned and disgruntled at what they thought was a corrupt establishment, and were willing to take risks to make change. Trump repeatedly called Clinton “Crooked Hillary,” making her out to be the ultimate Washington insider. He hinted that if he lost, he may not concede, calling the system “rigged.”

While many voted for Trump, not all think he has the temperament to serve.

According to an NBC News exit poll, 64 percent said Trump did not have the temperament to serve while 59 percent said Clinton was not honest and trustworthy.

After heading such a divisive campaign, Trump sounded reconciliatory as he declared victory around 3 a.m. EST. “Hillary has worked very long and very hard over a long

period of time and we owe her a major debt of gratitude for her service to our country,” he said after Clinton called him to concede.

“Now it’s time for America to bind the wounds of division.”

In her concession speech Wednesday afternoon, Hillary Clinton said, “I know how disappointed you feel because I feel it too, and so do tens of millions of Americans who invested their hopes and dreams in this effort. This is painful and it will be for a long time, but I want you to remember this: Our campaign was never about one person or even one election, it was about the country we love and about building an America that’s hopeful, inclusive and big-hearted.”

“We have seen that our nation is more deeply divided than we thought. But I still believe in America, and I always will. And if you do, then we must accept this

result and then look to the future.

Donald Trump is going to be our president. We owe him an open mind and the chance to lead.”

With Trump taking his position as the 45th president and Republicans maintaining their grip on Congress, the GOP will be the strongest it has been in recent years. The likely nomination of a conservative justice to the Supreme Court will only further that strength.

Trump has vowed that after he is inaugurated Jan. 20 he will eradicate a number of President Obama’s trademark policies, such as the Affordable Care Act and the Iran nuclear deal. He plans to alter both the domestic and international landscape drastically.

Domestically, Trump has pledged to overturn Roe v.

Wade and ban immigration of Muslims or those from countrie “compromised by terrorism.”

His vice president pick, former Indiana governor Mike Pence, is known for his hardline conservative policies including banning abortions of disabled fetuses, protecting business owners who don’t want to serve

gay customers under a religious freedom bill, and supporting gay conversion therapy.

Regarding international relations, Trump has drawn the ire of a number of countries including Mexico, China and Canada. Trump led his campaign with the promise of a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, entirely paid for by Mexico. He has pushed for renegotiations of the North American Free Trade Agreement and trade deals with China.

Russian President Vladimir Putin congratulated Trump’s win Wednesday afternoon, after Donald Trump praised Putin as a strong leader throughout the campaign. Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called Trump “a true friend,” vowing to work together.

Some Trump supporters were also shocked and overwhelmed while watching the results come in Tuesday night. “It’s a great feeling to be surrounded by people with the same values as you and who are just as excited about this election,” said Bracha Taft, a Dallas County GOP watch party attendee.

Trump’s policies that will affect millennials LILI JOHNSTON News Staff Writer lsjohnston@smu.edu America has elected a new president. The path to this moment started long ago, and now Donald Trump is the President of the United States.

Here’s a narrative to outline Trump’s views on four political issues and their economic impacts that affect millennials more seriously than other generations: campus sexual assault, healthcare and gun control.

Sexual Assault Trump’s campaign contains no statements or proposals on the issue of sexual assault on college campuses. Yet, as per the view construed at the Republican National Convention, Republicans note the issue as one deserving attention. The party platform approved during the convention supports the issue at large, with

an ode to prosecute cases “in a courtroom, not a faculty lounge,” for example. However, his derogatory comments about women, the group most affected by sexual assaults, have shadowed his campaign in doubt regarding his true opinions on the subject.

Healthcare Trump’s plan constitutes the mantra of school choice, continuing the tradition of excellence in private and public education. He maintains a “national goal of providing school choice to everyone of the 11 million school-aged children living in poverty,” keeping them away from Clinton’s proposal of tuitionfree, public or community college education. Trump will offer $20 billion in federal investment – a sum derived from reprioritizing existing federal dollars – to give states the option to allocate funds in both the public and private

sectors, whichever a student chooses to attend. He also vows to reform the educational system with Congress to make sure universities act in good faith, cutting costs and reducing student debt in a quid pro quo for federal tax breaks and dollars.

Gun Control Trump’s gun control policies, on the other hand, edge away from the notion of control. “The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed upon. Period,” he says on his campaign website. Trump wants to empower law-abiding citizens with the right to selfdefense. He wants to reform the background check system from scratch and make it work as intended, not expanding upon the existing system, thus furthering its flaws. He also detests dictation on what types of firearms citizens are allowed to own.

SMU students react to Trump’s win in presidential election MORGAN SMITH Contributing Writer morgans@smu.edu After the shocking results from the election, there’s really only one thing that’s certain: people seem to be more divided than ever, including students on SMU’s campus.

While many students are pro-Trump and have been celebrating his election, others remained saddened and stunned at the less-thananticipated outcome.

The election left student Genesis Arroyo “flabbergasted.”

“I was surprised seeing the talk shift from ‘How can he win to how can she win?’” Arroyo said. “I couldn’t believe so many people were voting for a man who continuously belittled minority groups and people in general. It was devastating to see.”

Student Jeff Tullis shared similar thoughts and feelings as Arroyo.

“I’m deeply saddened by the results and

I think it’s going to be pretty problematic for the time being,” Tullis said. “I think there’s a possibility that it will make people more openly hateful.”

On the other hand, some SMU students rejoiced at Trump’s election.

“I was pretty surprised,” said sophomore Keller Whitlock. “I feel like most people weren’t really expecting it, but....I’m excited to see what Trump does with his new position.”

Student Emma-Kate Brown agrees with Whitlock, and also expects things to be “different” in the next four years.

As for the election’s impact on SMU students? Arroyo thinks most students here won’t be affected.

“Seeing how the majority of SMU students are upper-class, white students, I think this decision will mostly only affect the minority students,” Arroyo said. “I don’t think it’ll affect SMU as much as it will effect other college campuses that are more diverse.”

Lupe Valdez re-elected as Dallas County Sheriff EMORY PARSONS & NATE WILLIAMS Lupe Valdez, the Democratic incumbent for Dallas Country sheriff, is running away with the lead on Republican challenger Kirk Launius, but Republicans at the Dallas GOP watch party don’t seem too concerned.

“I am a Republican so I voted for Mr. Launius, but Dallas has been trending Democrat for so long that I’m not surprised,” said David Keeton, who attended Tuesday night’s watch party at the Westin. “And, she has done a remarkably good job.”

Keeton, who is gay, said he feels Dallas County Republicans are increasingly accepting of gay political candidates. Valdez also is openly gay.

“I’m gay and I just love being here surrounded by Republicans who make me feel confident about myself,” Keeton said.

At the Dallas County Democratic watch party at the downtown Hyatt Regency, attendee Michelle Newsome was encouraged that Valdez was cruising to reelection, despite a night of national anxiety

for Democrats.

“She’s been a great sheriff,” Newsome said of Valdez.

Here to now: Trump in the rearview mirror EILEEN BARRETT Contributing Writer ebarrett@smu.edu Trump’s path to presidency was a rollercoaster series of events, all starting on June 15, 2015 at Trump Tower.

From Trump being the Republican nominee with no government experience and the inflammatory comments he has made along with tweets, he has had the most coverage while spending less money on advertisements compared to the rest of the candidates.

How did Trump get to where he is today?

Starting off, Trump was not the predicted winner for the Republican party. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush was, due to his father and brother both

being past presidents, and he had a large amount of money to spend on campaigning.

However, Jeb dropped out in the 4th primary. The other main candidates were Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, Gov. John Kasich of Ohio, and Trump.

Five candidates withdrew from the race before a vote was cast.

In the first event, the Iowa caucus, Cruz took the win.

Trump then took over and won the New Hampshire primary, Nevada caucus, and the South Carolina Primary.

Once Trump reached the 1,237 delegates he was the clear nominee for the Republican Party.

Still, not all of the other GOP candidates endorsed Trump. Gov. Chris Christie of

New Jersey, Rubio, and former Texas Gov. Perry were only a few that did. Cruz eventually came around to support Trump in the waning days of the campaign.

What was an advantage that Trump had over the other candidates?

Free media.

Trump had the most coverage of any candidate in either party.

While he benefitted from that coverage early, he later attacked the press after the coverage turned negative with repeated reporting of some of his questionable statements about Hispanics, Muslims, women and a Gold Star family.

Trump’s message that attracted voters included his pledge...

Hillary Clinton and the pantsuit A match made in political heaven

GABRIELLA BRADLEY Fashion Editor gjbradley@smu.edu As a politician, your image is almost just as important as your policies.

Chris Christie was skewered by the press during the presidential primaries for his sizeable waistline. Bernie Sanders was humorously compared to KFC’s Colonel Sanders. As for Donald Trump, tuning into any recent segment of “The Late Night Show with Jimmy Fallon” or “Saturday Night Live” will tell you how much material his fluorescent orange tan or wispy blonde comb-over has given comedy writers this election cycle.

When you’re a public figure, you must produce a public image, a signature style that makes you easily recognizable.

For Hillary Clinton, that signature style is the pantsuit.

While anyone can walk into a store today and leave with a pantsuit, the two piece ensemble represents more than just sharp dressing– it stands for the century old fight for women’s equality in America.

A century ago, a woman wearing a pantsuit would have been seen as quite scandalous.

Pants were viewed as being strictly a man’s garment and had no place in a lady’s closet.

However, in 1923 Coco Chanel began to pave the way for the modern pantsuit.

The French fashion designer introduced her “signature suit,” an ensemble that consisted of a tailored knee-length skirt and a collarless, wool, button-down jacket with embellished buttons. Although there were no pants, this was the first introduction of female suiting to be seen in the fashion industry thus far.

About 10 years later, French designer Marcel Rochas decided to expand Chanel’s controversial signature style by adding a women’s pant to his collection.

Rochas is credited with originating the idea of pairing pants with women’s

suits when he introduced a pair of gray wool trousers and matching jacket with extremely padded shoulders.

While the trend had caught on with a few bold designers and socialites, including Elsa Schiaparelli and actress Katherine Hepburn, it wasn’t until World War II that pants became a necessity for women across America.

With most of the men overseas fighting in the war, women emerged into the workplace, mostly taking up jobs in industrial fields to help with war efforts. To work in these mostly factory roles, women would often tailor their absent husband’s jeans to fit their smaller frames.

Although pants were widely accepted in the industrial setting, women were still expected to wear skirts or dresses during their off hours.

It wasn’t until the feminist revolution of the 1960s and ‘70s that pants finally had their moment.

Women across the nation pushed for equal rights and adopting the style became a symbol of their fight.

This led to the passing of the Title IX of the Education Amendment of 1972– among other gender equity measures– which granted girls the right to wear pants in public schools.

In the few decades since this movement, the pantsuit has become widely popular among business women in all fields.

Countless female politicians can be seen wearing them every day on Capitol Hill.

Awards show red carpets are seeing more pantsuits this season than ever before.

And any time you see Clinton on the news, at a rally, or at a debate, you can be sure to see pantsuits there, too.

For Hillary Clinton, the pantsuit isn’t just a style choice; it is a statement.

It’s a statement that recognizes the fight for women’s equality that is continues today. A statement of power that she can play in a man’s world. A statement of professionalism, that if a suit is what it takes to be taken seriously, then a suit it is.

‘Hacksaw Ridge’ proves to be an epic film RILEY COVEN Arts and Life Editor rcoven@smu.edu Mel Gibson’s latest project is nothing short of epic.

“Hacksaw Ridge” tells the true story of Desmond Doss, an army medic in World War II who became the first conscientious objector to ever win the Medal of Honor. Doss, played by Andrew Garfield, enlists in the army and immediately faces adversity due to his religious beliefs.

Having made a promise to God that he wouldn’t touch a weapon, Doss is verbally and physically attacked by the men in his camp. After being made an army medic, Doss and his company attempt to take Hacksaw Ridge, an area

under Japanese control.

The film is so intricate and takes on so many different paths that you think it would be convoluted or dense, but Gibson is able to deftly weave from one subject to the next. The film manages to be an endearing love story, a courtroom drama, a personal battle with family values and a complete war epic. At no point does anything feel out of place or unearned. Every moment is tense and every action carries weight. Gibson manages to put viewers on the edges of their seats for all two hours and leaves them breathless at the end.

The movie is remarkably sound in nearly every way.

Technically, it’s incredibly well put together. The sound and visuals draw the viewer

in and showcase the ugliness of war with grit and blood laced in every moment. The effects are flawless and help to illuminate the brutal battle the men face. Great movies are technically sound, but they have something else as well. They have real emotion – something this film has in spades.

Behind a medley of outstanding performances, notably from Hugo Weaving, the film meets the brutality of warfare with human emotion. Doss’ entire journey is fraught with the barbarity of war and the effects war has on soldiers. His faith is tested at every turn and watching him struggle with his beliefs is nearly as heart-wrenching as watching the intense scenes of war.

‘Edge of Seventeen’ borders on brilliance RACHEL KENNEDY Arts & Life Assoc. Editor rekennedy@smu.edu

This past week, I talked with Hailee Steinfeld about her new movie “The Edge of Seventeen.” The actress and singer, known for her roles in “Pitch Perfect” and “True Grit” and her hit singles “Love Myself ” and “Starving,” plays Nadine, an awkward 17-year-old just trying to figure it all out.

The movie follows Nadine as she tries to navigate problems with her only friend, her seemingly perfect brother, her unaware mother and pretty much anyone she talks to. Nadine’s pessimistic attitude toward high school combined with her quirky style and toohonest attitude, makes her a rebellious, awkward lead that we love to root for.

Although some of Nadine’s struggles are more severe or exaggerated than the typical teen’s, there’s no doubt her issues will bring you right back to your teenage years and to some memories you wish you left back in high school.

Although Steinfeld was homeschooled since sixth grade, the Academy Award nominated actress said she didn’t find it hard to relate to a typical high school experience.

“In ways there were some things that came new to me, but I think having lived vicariously through friends [and a brother] that were in high school I had the feeling of it,” Steinfeld said.

When asked her if she felt like she missed

Hailee Steinfeld, “Edge of Seventeen” star

out on anything by being homeschooled, Steinfeld confessed, “The only time I ever really felt left out was, no joke, when there was a homecoming and I was on Facebook the next day looking at all the pictures of everybody dressed up. It kind of would hit me that I would never experience what that is like.”

Steinfeld went on to say, “but I do feel that I’ve made up for it in some other ways.”

Even though Steinfeld didn’t have the quintessential high school experience, she can still relate to Nadine’s teenage problems, like questionable haircuts, regrettable wardrobe choices and texting mishaps.

Steinfeld explained, “I’ve definitely texted the wrong person the wrong text but I’ve never meant to say something to that person and accidentally sent it. That is a fear of mine.”

She went on to say, “I feel like this movie represents me as that age and I feel like I’ll be able to look back on it as if my high school years

Hailee Steinfeld Facebook

were documented.”

The movie itself is unapologetically blunt, uncomfortably accurate and laugh-out-loud funny.

Cringe-worthy encounters, witty one-liners and perfectly timed insults are just a few things that make this movie a must-see comedy.

Although the comedy aspect of the film is apparent from the start, don’t forget that this film is also recognized as a drama.

As Nadine’s struggles start to unfold, the movie becomes an honest portrayal of the hopelessness that ensues when everything becomes too much as a teenager.

When asked what she wants the audience to take away from the film, Steinfeld said, “I think that if people can watch this movie and feel like this represented a time in their life in an honest way or in what they feel is the most honest way it’s ever been portrayed. To where they can watch this film and feel like they’re not alone or they were never alone.”

OPINION

Trump triumphs in upset victory ampus Time to sober up, America.

What many people thought as unthinkable, has happened.

We have four years of a Donald Trump Presidency… barring any surprises.

If anything is true, it is that the “silent majority” exists and is stronger than anyone thought. Almost no polling data predicted this win, and I think that even many Trump supporters were unsure of his ability to win it. Even with Trump’s strength in Florida early on, it felt as if the mood on both sides was “this cannot possibly be happening.”

And yet it did, so where do we go from here?

For starters, I do not think that victory dancing or gloating will be particularly productive.

Primarily, I think that Hillary Clinton needs to be left alone.

Trying to throw her in prison, would not be productive.

But more than attitude or gloating – it is not the Republican’s turn to lead in earnest. No more government shutdowns.

No more complaining about a President will not sign bills into law. The Republicans have everything they could have possibly asked for: the Presidency, House, Senate, and Supreme Court Nomination (and subsequent confirmation).

What they do will decide the tone of the party moving

NOAH BARTOS Opinion Editor nbartos@smu.edu

forward. It will be up to Paul Ryan, or a new speaker, to see if the many voices of the House and Senate can prevail over the confusing and convoluted policies of Trump.

What exactly will happen once Trump takes office is unknown. Whether the wall will be built, Obamacare repealed, and mass deportations started is yet to be seen. But what is sure is that Trump, in his upset victory and with the coordinated support of the Republicans behind him, can get more done with his policies than originally thought. If there is any consolation prize it is not clear whether Trump is a true, hardline conservative in his policies – but his record of crazy speeches and proposals is probably enough to cloud over that silver lining.

What is sure is that this election is going down in the history books. I do not know what the critical analysis will say, and writing this on election night, I am not truly sure myself how we got here.

But the key is that we are

indeed here– and yes, this is happening. It is our jobs to be civil and move on, pushing forward toward some kind of progress, rather than weeping and gnashing our teeth over the recent past. While I hope that our leaders will reflect this sentiment, I am not entirely sure it will.

While this is a huge victory for the Republican party, which not long ago seemed like it was in need of a rebuilding, and need to find itself, we did just turn the keys over to a party in the middle of an identity crisis – so it is possible that this serves as an even stronger omen to the Democrats.

Does this election serve as a wholesale condemnation of Obama’s policies?

Possibly, I am sure that more analysis will be forthcoming on this. But, it certainly should cause the Democrats to take a step back and look at their policies, language, and rhetoric over the past years.

Obviously they have alienated a huge swath of the country, evidence being a Trump Presidency. Sure, the Democrats can continue to bemoan the racist, white people who are oppressing everyone and getting Trump elected, and perhaps there is truth to that. However, it seems as if those people are stronger than expected.

What this election seems like to me is a lot of lost hope, a lot of lost promise. There was a lot of positive energy on both sides at points during the primaries. Bernie Sanders had a progressive, energetic, and positive movement behind him. And the Republicans fielded a large group of positive and policy-positive candidates. However, the large field allowed one brazen and radical voice to cut through– the one who will be our leader come Jan. 20.

These candidates did not come in promising hope and change – all of that has been thoroughly lost these past eight years. I hope somehow this presidency can get off to a reasonable start, and some hope and progress can be salvaged. I hope somehow the promise of Trump’s business savvy will come true, and that people will not be so jaded or angered by the results and news cycles, to the point where we will be unable to move on or make progress.

At the end of the day, the ball is squarely in the Republican’s court. What they choose to do with it now will decide the fate of the party and country. Personally, I do not think that we will be descending into nuclear Armageddon, but stay tuned because anything is possible.

Q&A: Tim Jankovich is ready to coach a new cast of characters at SMU REECE GRAHAM Sports Staff Writer rkgraham@smu.edu Put yourself in these shoes: You are the head coach of a Division-I basketball program. In your five years as coach, your team has gone 105-64, made four postseason appearances and finished in the top three of your conference in each of those seasons.

One day, you get a phone call. You have been offered a job as “the coach in waiting” – a demotion – under a Hall of Fame coach.

Would you take the job?

That is the decision Tim Jankovich had to make when Larry Brown came calling in 2013.

When Brown resigned in July 2016, Jankovich inherited a team that had won 25 games in each of its previous three seasons.

Now at the helm of a nationally relevant program, Jankovich looks to continue the success Brown found at SMU. The SMU Campus Weekly sat down with Jankovich following SMU’s basketball tipoff luncheon to discuss what fans can expect this season.

SMU Campus Weekly: You coached this team while Larry Brown was serving his nine-game suspension last season. Has that experience made this changing of the guard come easy?

Tim Jankovich: Well, I came here as a head coach, as you know. The adjustment for me was when

I first got here not being the head coach.

That was a big adjustment, and then when I coached the nine games last year, it actually felt more comfortable.

I don’t think that mattered to how I’m feeling now, but I do think that it was a benefit to our players given the fact that now they don’t have to wonder what it will be like.

SMUCW: This will be the first time in a while you have coached a team without Nic Moore on it since he first played for you at Illinois State. How do you replace that production at point guard?

TJ: Well, you’re right.

I became like Linus and he was my blanket for gosh sakes, for five years.

Now we don’t have the blanket.

He was as talented a winner as I’ve ever coached.

It’s college basketball, it ebbs and it flows.

It’s a new team with a new personality. It’s our job collectively to try to form these pieces into a very coherent, efficient basketball team.

SMUCW: How has Shake Milton developed in the offseason and how much should fans expect to see him at the point?

TJ: He will be asked to play a significant role at the point guard.

I think there will be some nights when we are point guard by committee – I think we have four candidates.

I think Tom Wilson, Dashawn McDowell and Ben Emelogu can play point

SMU Athletics

as well.

I’ve been in programs before where you have multiple point guards.

I can tell you I wouldn’t trade Shake for the world.

SMUCW: SMU has only nine scholarship players on the roster this season.

How important is the addition of Semi Ojeleye and having Ben Emelogu back from injury?

TJ: Absolutely critical.

Because not only are they talented, but they have that maturity and age and strength.

They are legitimate major college players. You need as many of those as you can.

I really like our freshman class, but you never know

at this point what they’re going to be like in games, particularly early on.

You look at the breakdown of our team, we have four returning players, period. Four on the whole roster.

Then, we have two that sat out, and then we have three freshmen coming in.

I don’t know if anyone is not vital at this point. I think we have a chance to be awfully good.

SMUCW: At Illinois State you were known for a fast-paced, perimeteroriented style of offense.

How do you adapt the lessons you learned from Coach Brown to your own style?

TJ: Well the truth is,

I was adapting how we played at Illinois State to our personnel.

I coached at Kansas before that and we were throwing the ball inside right and left because we had four pros at our inside positions.

I coached at Illinois and we had two pros on the frontline and we played inside-out basketball.

I think most coaches are going to look at their personnel and play to their talent. They’re not going to try to put square pegs in round holes.

The way I see this team, I think we have a lot of very good shooters.

I think we have some good post players. I think we have a lot of versatility, honestly.

We’re not real big up front, other than Harry Froling, but we are big at the guard spots.

We have length, athletic ability, we got a lot of guys who can shoot a 3-pointer.

I will always tailor to the strength of the players. We’re not going to have a system we always play, I think you’re short-sighting your players when you do that.

SMUCW: At American Athletic Conference media day, commissioner Mike Aresco compared Moody Coliseum to Cameron Indoor at Duke.

How does the gameday atmosphere in Moody compare to other famed venues you have coached in?

TJ: Well, two of the most storied ones that people talk about all the time are Kansas at Allen Fieldhouse, I had the pleasure of working there.

And, of course, Duke as

you said. They are incredible places to play.

But I’ll tell you what, lately we’re not taking a backseat.

I’m so proud of our fans and so appreciative.

I hope they know how significant they are in our win and loss record, how significant they are in our recruiting, how significant they are in the future of our program. Show me a great program and I’m going to show you a great homecourt environment.

DC: You said at AAC media day that you hope your players play like “caged lions let out.” What is this season all about for SMU? TJ: I have so much respect for the players we’ve had here in the last few years because they have been through the most adversity of any program I have ever been in.

And they handled it better than, as a coach, we could have ever hoped.

Just look at the start of last year – upon hearing the news “you have no future in March,” our whole message was well, the only way we can turn this into a positive is to do something so special that people have to keep paying attention to us. And they did.

A lot of people wouldn’t do that. So they’ve been through so much and I would expect them to play with a little bit of a different chip on their shoulder. I hope they are like caged lions.

Does something carry over? I hope it does, but I think time will tell on that.

REECE GRAHAM Contributing Writer rkgraham@smu.edu SMU forward Semi Ojeleye is one of the most talented players in college basketball today, but few remember him.

It is no wonder why– Ojeleye has not played a game of basketball in 23 months.

Ojeleye transferred to SMU from Duke University SMU Athletics in the middle of the 2014SMU men’s basketball player 2015 season. He enrolled at Semi Ojeleye.

thunderous, rafter-shaking dunks off the lob.

His domination of the paint is supplemented by great three-point shooting.

Ojeleye’s accuracy from beyond the arc was one of the major reasons why Duke was interested in him. According to MaxPreps, Ojeleye shot 38 percent from deep during his junior season in high school.

The diversity and effectiveness of Ojeleye’s offensive weapons is a rare find at any level. He brings the touch of Michelangelo and the power of a freight train.

“I think the biggest thing I’ve gained during this time out is just confidence,” Ojeleye said. “I don’t know how good I’ll be as far as stats go, but I know that when I step out there, I’ll be comfortable, I’ll be ready, and hopefully I can make the best of it.”

It might be easy for someone with his talent to feel entitled and superior, but not Ojeleye.

His humility and willingness to put his teammates first might be his most valuable asset.

“I felt like I had to figure out a way to help the team however I could,” Ojeleye said.

“Just in practice, trying to go as hard as I could and knowing that it would get my teammates better, get me better at the same time. Knowing that my time would come.”

He has a chance to become not only one of the best players in the American Athletic Conference, but also in all of college basketball.

SMU fans will have to wait and see.
